This was a lot more engrossing and engaging than I expected, partly because of the setting, but more because of the characters. On a trivial note, I bought it on my birthday last year.
( On went the silk tights, each pair to be fastened securely with pennies and yards of elastic. Under the thin silk at the top of each leg went a penny, a twist round with elastic, then up to the wais, round and down again to another penny; four in all. Not a wrinkle must be seen on this great occasion. p. 158 )
